When it comes to hockey, it’s important to have the right equipment to fully enjoy the game. After all, your entertainment will be severely hampered if you end up on your way to the emergency room. But hockey equipment isn’t just about protection. The right skates and stick can make all the difference in an otherwise closely-matched game, and there are a number of online vendors that can give you the edge you need. All prices below are current as of August 19.HockeyMonkey offers some great deals on protective equipment for men and women. CCM Pro Tacks Gloves, which have a wide cuff to allow mobility and a special thumb to prevent hyperextension, are on clearance for only 69.98. The gloves normally retail for 139.99. The Nike Bauer 9500 Hockey Helmet, a highly-trusted (and highly expensive) model, usually costs 229.99, but you can get it on clearance for 89.98.HockeyGear is another leading online retailer, and they offer affordable prices on a number of popular brand-name skates. When picking hockey skates, it’s important to focus on three things: the comfort of the skate, the fit (in length and width), and the maker. At HockeyGear, you can select several choices from all of these, such as the CCM 892 T-Blade Tacks Junior Ice Hockey Skates (regularly 329.99) on closeout for only 99.99.Finally, HockeyGiant is another site you’ll want to investigate during your online shopping excursion. Check out their deals on hockey sticks, where they’re always offering specials. On August 5, it was “Buy 1 Stick and Get 10 Off All Additional Sticks.” That’s right, “sticks” plural. You might need a variety of sticks considering all the options, from wooden sticks to one- and two-piece composites. Or, maybe you just want to gear up the rest of the people in your neighborhood for a little friendly match. Whatever your reasons, you’re sure to find what you need at these sites, leaving you prepared for the matches to come.
